Bet365 Poker Review

by Gambling.com™

Bet365 is another example of an online bookmaker who decided to venture into the world of poker. Part of the iPoker network, you are presented the opportunity to play from micro stakes to high stakes, if you have the bankroll to do so that is.

With freerolls and their 'Beginners’ Races' promotion, Bet365 Poker provides a great platform for beginners and players transitioning from other sites as well.

Software

Being part of the iPoker network means players and quality gaming are guaranteed. But how each site chooses to design its platform is up to them. Bet365 Poker may not be so flashy when it comes to graphics, but has a good, solid, and simple design, which is instantly familiar to any online poker player.

Networks

User Experience

With a wide range of customization options and a clear cut lobby there should be no problem catering to all players. Site navigation is topnotch. The massive array of tables and game varieties will have players of all levels salivating.

Cash Games and Tournaments

You can expect to see around 8,000 real money players when you hit the cash games at most times of the day, which means you should have no problem finding a table that you can play in, as long as you’re not looking to play too big.

Tournaments are where the majority of the players are located at Bet365, with an average of 30,000 players taking their chances to win it big throughout the day. The £200,000 guarantee freezout every Sunday, makes for a great tournament full of value.

Game Variety

Although dominating the scene is No Limit Hold’em, Bet365 offers you the additional option of playing Omaha, Stud, Draw, or Razz as other poker variants, whether in cash games or tournaments.

Competition Level

As mentioned before, sites that run as bookmakers, or facilitate other gambling options, usually offer a generally loose population of players. Of course, the sharks always take note of these, so be careful.

Try to identify the pro and the casual player at your tables. Keep to low stakes and the games should be pretty easy.

Promotions

Bet365 Poker has a great loyalty program where you can earn up to £600 from playing on their client. They also feature a decent 100% sign up bonus and a £1,000 new player freeroll, which is great for building your bankroll.

Another promotion Bet365 runs is the 'Travel the World with Bet365' which gives you the opportunity to win trips abroad by competing in leader boards.

Support and Banking

Bet365 touts a stellar support system featuring a topnotch support staff, FAQs, a Bet Tutorial, and a state-of-the-art Live Chat feature. The support staff can also be reached via phone, email, post, fax, and a useful call-back system.

The support service is available 24/7 but we recommend any major concerns be addressed between 09.00 - 17.00 GMT as that is the only time Senior Support Advisors are available for assistance.

As for banking, you have the option of playing games in three different currencies, the euro, the pound, and the dollar, which is great if you can’t be bothered to exchange your pounds back and forth in the system.

Bet365 accepts debit cards, electronic payment methods, mail deposits, and bank wires so you should have no problem getting your money in and out of your account.

Our Verdict

Bet365 established itself as a topnotch bookmaker decades ago but emerging as an elite poker provider is the next goal. Bet365 uses generous promotions, massive player pools in the iPoker network and a simple site layout to draw new and returning players to their budding poker offering.
